- Move to a safe location if possible, but don’t leave the scene.
- Collect the contact information of the truck driver and any witnesses.
- Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any injuries.
- Do not admit fault even if you feel partly responsible.
- Seek medical attention, even if you feel fine
- Keep a detailed record of medical treatments and expenses related to the accident.

What Damages Can I Recover?
In New York, which is a no-fault state, your own insurance will initially cover your medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of who caused the accident. However, for severe injuries, you can step outside this no-fault system and seek additional compensation from the at-fault parties.
That’s where our attorneys come in to help you maximize your claim. If you reach the serious injury threshold, you may also be able to recover non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, permanent disfigurement, scarring, and more.
